Review Status Workflow Example

The following example shows how two sequential human errors cause discrepancies for a single question response. In this study, the question PULSE RATE has an upperbound limit of 150 and a lowerbound limit of 50. The following table describes user actions and the consequences in the system.

User Action System Reaction

Operator enters a value of 800 for PULSE RATE during data entry

System creates a new upperbound discrepancy #100.

The user changes the value for PULSE RATE from 800 to 8.

The system changes the upperbound discrepancy #100 status to Closed.

The system creates a new lowerbound discrepancy #101.

The user returns to data entry and changes the value for PULSE RATE from 8 to 80.

The system changes the lowerbound discrepancy #101 status to Closed.
